Still a risk even in a 4x4 the way that water is going past!

Tony.
every time i've been to wales it always rains
Still plenty of room for some more in that bit of a stream.
Bloody hell it's playing havoc all over the place. Been off work today but back tomorrow. Nothing worse than wind and rain for me. Is that now river on your land @miller1098?
Hope rain will stop! Water is much dangerous than fire...
Bloody hell Hugh, when we were at your place 6 weeks ago there was hardly any water in that stream
Yes this is where we want to put the hydro system,all this potential power passing the door

Is the system something you have to buy, Hugh. Or can you build one yourself.
Mike
Very Very surprised you have not done it before, it would be a priority for me.
We have a few hydro schemes going in to our glen at the moment not cheap though! You need a stack of cash to put in the investment but it is repayable through guaranteed tariffs etc.
Yes it's something I'm not qualified to install,and you can imagine the red tape involved with anything to do with water and rivers.permissions have cost in the region of £10,000 its quite an investment the pipe work alone is over £25,000 it's not a cheap thing so I've been back to my bank manager again

A friend of mine is at about the 50K mark and it will be commissioned in the next week or so, his son is in the renewable business so he has got through a lot of the red tape/paperwork relatively easily, I suppose the costs come down to the size of the generator etc as well.
Ours will be about £120,000 but I'm hoping we can churn out a bit of power
